Waiting a little Longer . . .

So we got the news about the extended wait times . . . and were disappointed. It feels like we have been already been waiting FOREVER - for this new little one. We have waited through our own attempts, we have waited through fertility trials (still very glad to be done with that), and now our wait has been extended through this process. But then God gave me a reality check! I went on the Ethiopia formum and found a thread on waiting and the extended wait times. Families spoke of their reaction to the extended wait times - and some families shared that they had been waiting for 10 years (Yes 10 YEARS!!!!) for their first child - through Invitro and other fertility work and now this.

I decided I was pretty blessed. B - keeps us entertained and amused and a few more months is really not that bad to wait for something so precious as a child. It will give us a few more months to enjoy being a family of three. Right now we are very mobile, I don't have to rememeber bottles or diapers, and Scott and I sleep very well at night.

Don't get me wrong, we are ready for our new little one - but I have decided to enjoy our family as it is until the new little one arrives.

God has a way of providing us perspective :)
